Kathmandu. Nepal LP Gas Industry Association has requested the gas industry and sellers not to take the price of gas in Kathmandu valley more than 2000 rupees per cylinder. Through the notice issued by the association on Thursday, the corporation has requested to sell and distribute gas at the price of Rs.
